[Fwd: ICANN News Alert -- ALAC Review WG Posts Mid-Point Consultation Report]
by Wendy Seltzer Oct. 23, 2008

Oct. 23, 2008

FYI. Much improved from the consultants' report. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: ICANN News Alert -- ALAC Review WG Posts Mid-Point Consultation Report Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 16:02:58 -0400 From: ICANN News Alert <communications(a)icann.org> To: wendy(a)seltzer.com ICANN http://www.icann.org/ News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-23oct08-en.htm ________________________________ ALAC Review WG Posts Mid-Point Consultation Report 23 October 2008 The ALAC Review Working Group (WG) has released its Mid-point Consultation Report http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/alac/midpoint-consultation-report-21oct08-e… [PDF, 285K] for discussion with the ICANN community. This preliminary report presents the WG's "initial thinking" on the questions under review following the publication of the Independent Review of the At Large Advisory Committee by Westlake Consulting. It is based on consultation that the WG has undertaken with the ICANN community at the Paris meeting, through an online comment forum and at meetings with a variety of groups with the ICANN community. A summary of the consultation is contained in an appendix to the report. The WG is publishing this Mid-point Consultation Report now in order to engage the ICANN community and staff in dialogue at an early stage of its thinking. Comments on this paper will be very welcome and the WG encourages all interested parties to attend workshops during the ICANN Meeting in Cairo and/or post comments on the public comment forum http://www.icann.org/en/public-comment/public-comment-200812.html#alac-midp…. This mid-point consultation document includes a discussion of areas of emerging agreement, possible recommendations, and questions that need to be addressed. It does not reach, and should not be interpreted as reaching, any definitive recommendations or conclusions at this time. The WG will continue to consult with the community over the coming months with a view to publishing final recommendations for discussion at the Mexico meeting in early 2009. This initial posting contains the text in English. Translations will be available shortly. Further details of the ALAC Review can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/reviews/alac/

Request for an Issues Report on the recovery of expired domain names
by Alan Greenberg Oct. 22, 2008

Oct. 22, 2008

At its October 14th teleconference, the ALAC voted to request an Issues Report on the subject of registrants being able to recover domain names after their formal expiration date. Details can be found at https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?recovery_of_expired_domain_names. An Issues Report is the first step in a possible Policy Development Process. The motion calls for the draft request to be revised before and at the Cairo ICANN meeting. A number of people have already volunteered to work on the initial effort, and unless I hear otherwise, will assume that they will continue to do so (I will verify). The ALAC formed a small Working Group. According to the motion "The working group may include representatives from At-Large, GNSO constituencies and other interested individuals but due to tight time constraints, will be limited to those with specific knowledge of the subject being discussed." If anyone else would like to participate, please let me know. I am also formally calling for statements of support for this initiatives from ALSs and RALOs. Statements need not be long. Lastly, if people can send me concise descriptions of situations where a domain name had inadvertently been allowed to expire, telling what happened, that would be very useful. Regards, Alan

Ma candidature issue
by Philemon Oct. 16, 2008

Oct. 16, 2008

Dear friends, As you cannot ignore it, I self-nominated for the seat of ALAC’s member on behalf of Africa. In this way, I stated some motivations which had pushed to my candidature. As I said it, my candidature is motivated by my will to infuse a certain new blood for the best of the structure. Indeed, as I repeated into the letter I sent to some ALs when requesting their vote, the circulation of elites is a sacred principle which normally could help putting things forwards. However, after evaluating the stakes at this stage of process (votes), I have just decided to withdraw my candidature for many reasons which cannot be stated here. Anyway, I really present my apologies to all those who witnessed me their confidence. The Internet community has got many other areas and challenges for which I will be involving, for our common action to realize an inclusive and safe Information society. I remain committed in the At-Large dynamic in all its issues. I will then keep on contributing as far as I could to help things moving forward. Best, Philemon

Under Rule 9, nominations are now called for, to fill the following 2008-2009 ALAC Officer positions these roles in the current ALAC have combined to form an ALAC Executive Committee or ExCom which meets monthly in the alternate fortnight to the ALAC and undertakes other strategic and policy development leadership roles:- Chair Vice Chair (i) Vice Chair (ii) Rapporteur* ALAC Members who currently fill these roles *and* who continue to remain eligible may be nominated or self nominate for re-election. *PLEASE NOTE the following definition from our Rules of Procedure regarding the role of the ALAC Rapporteur “…whilst some reporting or collation and preparation of information and notes role may be part of the job description, the following broad definition applies "An independent critical friend; a person acting as a monitor to processes, who is responsible on behalf of the committee to ensure correct process have been carried out." It is further envisaged by the current ALAC Officers (the ALAC ExCom) that in light of the probable recommendations to be made regarding increased accountability and strategic planning requirements on the ALAC as a result of its current ALAC Review, the role of the Rapporteur will need in the future to have a strong strategic planning and project management role within the ALAC and on behalf of the ExCom. The specific details and job description of this and all the executive and leadership roles in the ALAC are also proposed for review beginning in Cairo and finalized before the Mexico meeting and the At-Large Summit. The deadline for nominations to be made to the At-Large List is 1330 UTC Monday 27th October, 2008. Nominations *must* be accepted (self nominations will count as an acceptance) be sending a message to the public list no later than 7 days after the close of the nomination period i.e. 1330 UTC 3rd November. This is a regular election that will be held between the beginning and the end of an ICANN Annual General Meeting and as such rule 9.4.3 is invoked i.e. “ … the date and time of the vote shall be within the first 48 (forty ‐eight) hours after the closure of the Annual General Meeting; thus, the electorate will include the delegates whose term starts at the closure of that Annual General Meeting, and will not include the former ALAC members whose term ends at the closure of that Annual General Meeting.” Please NOTE: Only delegates (that is one of the current 15 Members of the At Large Advisory Committee) can nominate or self‐nominate, by posting a message to the public ALAC list. Anyone who will or has a chance to meet eligibility requirements after the next ICANN Annual General Meeting can be nominated; it is not necessary for nominees to meet eligibility requirements at the moment of the nomination, but, if elected, they will have to meet them before taking their seat. Nominations of individuals who will not meet the eligibility requirements after the closure of the next Annual General Meeting are invalid. Your attention is ALSO drawn to the following information and criteria regarding this from our Rules of Procedure:- ELECTION OF OFFICERS 2.1 The ALAC shall elect a Chair, at least two (2) Vice‐Chairs and a Rapporteur by the mechanism outlined in Rule 10. 2.2 All officers are normally elected at an Annual General Meeting of ICANN. 2.3 The election can take place by electronic mail, online balloting, written balloting, or any other means deemed convenient and accurate 2.4 All officers serve for a term of one year starting from the closure of an AGM and ending at the closure of the following AGM. 2.5 Officers shall be freely chosen by the ALAC, according to the following criteria: 2.6 They shall accept to serve on behalf of the AT LARGE COMMUNITY by acting for the good of the entire Committee, working to bridge differences and build consensus, but also recognizing difference and enabling different opinions to be shared; 2.7 They shall accept, while acting in their capacity as an ALAC officer, to put the collective views of the Committee always in front of their own.
